Quilalea Island, Mozambique

Understated ‘Robinson Crusoe’ style

Quilalea Island rests in a marine sanctuary as part of the Quirimbas Archipelago in Mozambique. The island has direct access to the tropical Indian Ocean and offers complete seclusion and privacy, with the only residents being the hotel guests and staff. Unlike the rest of Quirimbas Arquipelago, Quilalea is malaria-free. It also offers excellent diving on your doorstep.

The island resort accommodates 18 guests in 9 luxury ‘island villas’ overlooking the sparkling Indian ocean. Each villa opens onto a private veranda with panoramic sea views. Natural rock walls, air-conditioning as well as colonial ceiling fans, and gentle sea-breezes, keep you cool by day. A king-size bed draped in netting completes the romantic African Arabian luxury and all villas are en-suite.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.
